When reviewing previous cleanup-removal patches, I tried to look for 
something that hinted like it would install and return a cleanup, but 
it's obviously not a 100% reliable method.  What you could do is 
temporarily add

   struct cleanup *before = cleanup_chain;

at the beginning of the function, and

   gdb_assert (cleanup_chain == before);

at the end.
